Description

    Technical Field
  • The present application relates to the field of adaptive optics high-resolution imaging, and in particular relates to an anisoplanatic aberration correction method and apparatus for adaptive optical linear beam scanning imaging.
  • Background
  • In order to observe the fundus retina more clearly, adaptive optics technology is introduced into the field of retinal optical imaging. Using adaptive optics to measure and correct the aberration of the eye optical system can realize high-resolution imaging of the fundus retina, which can clearly distinguish the micro meter level capillaries, visual cells and other tissues.
  • However, the aberration measurement and correction of adaptive optics technology can only be effective within an angular range near the center of the field of view, this angular range is defined as the "isoplanatic region" to which the adaptive optics correction range is limited, and the aberration in the isoplanatic region can be completely corrected by adaptive optics, while the anisoplanatic aberration beyond the isoplanatic region can only be partially corrected by adaptive optics. When adaptive optics is applied to fundus retina imaging, the isoplanatic region of the eye is usually considered to have an angle of field of view of no more than 2°. At present, almost all adaptive optics retina high-resolution imaging systems have an imaging field of view that is less than 2°, which corresponds to only a very small area on the retina. In fact, all kinds of micro tissues closely related to visual function are distributed in an angle range of about 100° on the retina. In order to complete high-resolution imaging of a larger range of the retina or the whole retina, at present, it is widely used to obtain an image in a large field of view by multiple times of imaging and then image stitching. However, depending on the visual fixation ability of the subjects, the accuracy, the success rate and the efficiency of the image stitching are very low.
  • Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) technology has been applied to the field of astronomical observation, and was successfully used in a retinal floodlighting imaging system for the first time in 2009 in order to solve the problem of the imaging field of view being small and limited by the isoplanatic region of the eye, wherein multiple wavefront sensors and multiple wavefront correctors were used to realize aberration reginal measurement and simultaneous reginal correction in a field of view of 7°. However, the MCAO technology has huge system structure, high technical cost, interconnecting of aberrations in adjacent isoplanatic regions, high complexity of closed-loop control of multiple sets of aberration correction, and slow imaging speed. More crucially, the MCAO technology is only suitable for non-scanning flood lighting imaging systems, and there is no report on its application in scanning imaging systems at present.

  • In an adaptive optical linear beam scanning imaging system, the wavefront aberration in a linear beam scanning direction can be temporally measured by the wavefront sensor. Due to the anisoplanatic effect, the wavefront aberration in the linear beam direction can not be measured directly by the wavefront sensor, and only the wavefront aberration in an available full field of view in the linear beam direction can be measured. Therefore, it is necessary to provide different correction methods for correcting the anisoplanatic region aberration in these two directions. The present application provides a temporal and regional correction method and apparatus for correcting an anisoplanatic aberration in a wide field of view for adaptive optical linear beam scanning imaging.

  • Step T2: converting a wavefront aberration of each imaging sub-region measured by the wavefront sensor to obtain a point spread function (PSF) of each imaging sub-region, taking the PSF of each imaging sub-region as an initial PSF value and a constraint condition of the two image correction areas corresponding to each imaging sub-region, and then performing deconvolution correction of the anisoplanatic region aberration of the two image correction areas respectively by Wiener filtering; this step specifically comprises:
